00:00After 12 days of intense conflict, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a complete and total
00:05ceasefire between Israel and Iran, signaling a potential end to one of the most volatile
00:11flare-ups in recent Middle East history. Trump declared the ceasefire on his Truth Social
00:17platform, urging both nations to respect the agreement and refrain from further hostilities.
00:24He praised Israel and Iran for their stamina, courage, and intelligence in bringing an end
00:29to what he called the 12-day war. The ceasefire announcement came just hours after Iran launched
00:36multiple missile barges against southern Israel, resulting in four fatalities, the first Israeli
00:42deaths since the conflict began. Iran's final missile strikes reportedly occurred moments before
00:48the ceasefire took effect. Behind the scenes, Qatar played a crucial role as mediator.
00:54Trump held direct talks with Qatar's Amir, who helped facilitate the agreement.
01:01The U.S. also engaged in intense diplomatic negotiations with Iranian representatives
01:06through both direct and indirect channels. Israel agreed to the ceasefire on the condition
01:12that Iran halt its attacks. Tehran accepted the terms but emphasized that hostilities would cease
01:18only if Israel ended its military actions against Iranian targets. As of now, Israel has yet to
01:25publicly confirm the ceasefire. Earlier in the conflict, Iran retaliated against U.S. airstrikes
01:32on its nuclear facilities by targeting the Al Udiit airbase in Qatar. Thanks to advance warnings from
01:39Iran, no casualties were reported, and civilian airspace was reopened shortly after.
01:45The ceasefire brought a wave of relief to global markets, with oil prices dropping amid hopes that
01:51the conflict would not escalate further and disrupt vital shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.
01:58While the ceasefire offers a fragile hope for peace, the situation remains tense.
02:04Both nations have endured significant losses, and the world watches cautiously,
02:09hoping this truce will hold and pave the way for lasting diplomacy.
02:12This ceasefire marks a critical moment in Middle East history,
02:17a chance to end a devastating conflict and begin rebuilding trust.
02:22The next days will reveal whether peace can truly take hold.
